Angel of Destiny

Creature — Angel Cleric MV 5

Tracked across real Commander games played through TurnZero HQ.

What it does

Flying, double strike

Whenever a creature you control deals combat damage to a player, you and that player each gain that much life.

At the beginning of your end step, if you have at least 15 life more than your starting life total, each player this creature attacked this turn loses the game.

Combos with Angel of Destiny

Lines this card is part of — what it needs alongside it, and what the two of them do. An infinite result is the one that moves a deck's bracket.

Rulings

4 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.

  • 2020-09-25

    If a creature you control somehow deals combat damage to you (most likely because its combat damage was redirected), you gain twice that much life as a single life-gaining event.

  • 2020-09-25

    In a Two-Headed Giant game, Angel of Destiny's last ability can trigger as long as your team's life total is greater than your team's starting life total by 15 or more life.

  • 2020-09-25

    All first-strike combat damage is dealt at the same time, and, separately, all regular combat damage is dealt at the same time. If one of those amounts of combat damage is enough to cause the player being dealt damage to lose the game, Angel of Destiny's first triggered ability has you gain life, but the other player has already lost the game and can't gain life.

  • 2020-09-25

    If Angel of Destiny leaves the battlefield before your end step, its last ability won't trigger and won't cause a player to lose the game, even if Angel of Destiny attacked that player earlier.

Rulings are Wizards of the Coast's own, mirrored from Scryfall and refreshed nightly.

Every version of Angel of Destiny

5 printings, newest first. Prices are the market figures Scryfall publishes, refreshed nightly — a printing with no figure shows a dash rather than a zero, because Scryfall genuinely publishes none for some of them.

Prices from Scryfall, which tracks the TCGplayer and Cardmarket markets. They move daily and are a guide rather than a quote. Search TCGplayer for Angel of Destiny — a name search across every version, for the printings TCGplayer publishes no direct link to.

Aggregated from Commander games tracked in TurnZero HQ. Every figure counts decks and games only — no individual deck list, player or playgroup is identified. Win rates are withheld below 5 completed games, where the sample is too small to mean anything.
